Post Zoning Issues
on: June 24, 2011, 04:38 PM

We are located in York County which is in the Upstate of South Carolina. We have been working for over a year trying to get our composting facility up and running. Every step of the way we have been told that composting is an accepted agricultural practice and the land we have is zoned agricultural use. Well, the County has denied our permit because they say we have to either be in an industrial or urban zoned area!!! Has anyone else ever had to fight this battle? We are dead in the water unless we can get them to change their regulation on agricultural land use. We have a county councilman on our side who is going to help us….just looking for some other precedents we can use as leverage.

Thanks,
